The flames reached out towards him, wrapping their slick tongues around him, leaving him breathless. He could fight them off. He looked towards the sky and his savior looked at him; shook his head and left him to burn. Draco felt the fire consume his robes and burn his skin, he tried to call for help but there seemed to be a vice around his throat, not a peep came out. He burned.
The heat was too much, it abruptly stopped and then Draco found himself at the Manor with His father looking down his nose at him with distain and disgust as Draco whimpered on the floor from the cruciatus curse he was put under. Lucius sneered at Draco as he whispered "You useless worthless slut." And cast another cruciatus at him, Draco screamed at the top of his lungs, the pain was excruciating. Draco could feel himself losing consciousness as his father spat at him and left him lying on the floor of his bedroom.Draco woke with a scream as the cold air rushed into his lungs he looked around with a little fear. It was always bad when Harry wasn't around. Draco stood and walked to the crib in the nursery. He smiled gently at little Jamie, who lay with his fists curled by his head. The unruly raven locks of his 6 month old baby felt like silk to him, Draco gently kissed Jamie on his forehead and tucked Jamie in.
Draco walked down stairs and into the living room; he sat by the window seat and opened the window to cool his overheated skin, he let his thoughts float on their own. Draco thought about how they had finally gotten over their rivalry and became friends and how that relationship grew into something deeper and resulted in their beautiful baby boy. Draco was so lost in his thoughts he didn't hear or notice the change in the wards as Harry entered the house. Draco jumped when Harry wrapped his hands around Draco's slender waist.
Draco looked at Harry and smiled into those emerald eyes that he loved so much and gently kissed Harry after he whispered a soft "Hey."
Harry smiled and said softly "The nightmare again huh?"
Draco shook his head and said ruefully "You know me too well."
Harry ran his hand through the soft hair that glowed like a soft halo in the moonlight and kissed his lovers forehead as he whispered against his hair, "I love you Dragon, I will never leave you. Your father was an idiot to ever leave you. You are worth more to me than all the gold and gems in the world."
Harry placed his hand under Draco's chin and tilted it gently but firmly and looked into the silver eyes that took his breath away every time he gazed into them and whispered fiercely "I. LOVE. YOU. You make my life worth living."
Draco gave Harry a watery smile and kissed him gently, "I love you too." Draco stood and held out his hand to Harry and smiled as he whispered "Come on Griffin let's go to bed."
